A RussianSoyuz rocket lit up the night over the edge of the Amazon on Friday, embarking on its first-ever Geostationary Transfer Orbit mission out of French Guiana, requiring the maximum possible performance of the Soyuz ST-B rocket and Fregat-MT upper stage.
Carrying the European-built Hispasat 36W-1 communications satellite, Soyuz departed the Guiana Space Center at 01:03:34 UTC on Saturday – taking a path straight to the East usually flown by the heavy-lift Ariane 5 on its Geostationary mission assignments. Thundering away from the coast, Soyuz fired its lower stages over the course of nine and a half minutes before the Fregat upper stage took over and conducted an exceptionally long engine burn of almost 18 minutes for a direct injection into a highly elliptical orbit.

Geostationary orbit

A geostationary orbit, geostationary Earth orbit or geosynchronous equatorial orbit (GEO) is a circular orbit35,786 kilometres (22,236mi) above the Earth's equator and following the direction of the Earth's rotation. An object in such an orbit has an orbital period equal to the Earth's rotational period (one sidereal day), and thus appears motionless, at a fixed position in the sky, to ground observers. Communications satellites and weather satellites are often placed in geostationary orbits, so that the satellite antennas (located on earth) which communicate with them do not have to rotate to track them, but can be pointed permanently at the position in the sky where the satellites are located. Using this characteristic, ocean color satellites with visible and near-infrared light sensors (e.g. the Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI)) can also be operated in geostationary orbit in order to monitor sensitive changes of ocean environments.

A geostationary orbit is a particular type of geosynchronous orbit, the distinction being that while an object in geosynchronous orbit returns to the same point in the sky at the same time each day, an object in geostationary orbit never leaves that position.

Kerbal Space Program

Kerbal Space Program (commonly abbreviated as KSP) is a space flight simulator developed by Squad for Microsoft Windows, OS X, Linux, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Wii U. In the game, players control an aerospace program, build and fly spacecraft or aircraft under physics simulation, and explore celestial bodies with characters called kerbals. The first publicly available version was released on the official Kerbal Space Program store on June 24, 2011.
The game also became available on Steam's early access program on March 20, 2013.
The game was officially released out of beta on April 27, 2015. The game has good support for game mods and a large community to create them, which developed shortly after the game's initial release.
Notable members of the space industry have taken an interest in the game, including NASA and Elon Musk of SpaceX.

Gameplay

The player controls a nascent space program operated by Kerbals, a race of small green humanoids, who have constructed a fully furnished and functional spaceport (known as the Kerbal Space Center, or KSC) on their homeworld Kerbin, which is based on Earth. Despite being shown as funny cartoon-like little green men, sometimes lacking common sense, they have shown themselves to be able to construct very well-made spacecraft parts and perform experiments.

How to set up a Geostationary Relay Network in KSP 1.2 (Tutorial: 27) Kerbal Space Program

Today we are setting up a Geostationary relay communication network and talking about the real life applications for such systems. The new communication systems in KSP1.2 are a recent and wonderful addition to the game, however some of the more interesting advanced options can make an even more engaging challenge.

COP-22: The Weight of Water: NASA’s GRACE Satellite Mission

PrimarySponsor: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
Event Summary: Monitoring of the world’s water resources is challenging due to limited large scale observations, particularly a lack of observations of water beneath the land surface. NASA’s Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) mission provides an unprecedented view of the regional net terrestrial water balance, with global coverage, over a now ~10 year record. This event will highlight some relationships between terrestrial water storage and other water balance variables (precipitation and runoff), as well as applications of the GRACE observations in drought monitoring, flood identification and long-lead-time flood prediction. The use of satellite-based gravity to monitor the world’s water resources is a rel...

gLISA: geosynchronous Laser Interferometer Space Antenna
Two geosynchronous gravitational wave mission concepts, generically named gLISA, are discussed. One relies on the science instrument hosting program onboard geostationary commercial satellites, while the other takes advantage of recent developments in the aerospace industry that result in dramatic satellite and launching vehicle cost reductions for a dedicated geosynchronous mission. To achieve the required level of disturbance free-fall onboard these large and heavy platforms a “two-stage” drag-free system is proposed, which incorporates the Modular Gravitational ReferenceSensor (MGRS) (developed at Stanford University) and does not rely on the use of micro-Newton thrusters. Although both mission concepts are ...

Eutelsat/ABS Mission Hosted Webcast

For this mission, SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket will deliver two commercial communications satellites to GeostationaryTransfer Orbits (GTO). The two satellites, EUTELSAT 117West B and ABS-2A, are operated respectively by Eutelsat and ABS – two companies that provide global communications services to a variety of users.
SpaceX is targeting launch from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida on June 15. The approximately 45-minute launch window opens on June 15 at 10:29am ET, 2:29pm UTC. EUTELSAT 117 West B will be deployed approximately 30 minutes after liftoff, and ABS-2A will be deployed 5 minutes later.

I've finally upgraded to 0.23.5 which means asteroids will be added to the game, and while the base game will just let me see them, my sense of 'fair play' made be decide to fly a mission to launch the Sentinel asteroid survey spacecraft.
Obviously this is a thinly veiled reference to the real Sentinel spacecraft designed by the B612 Foundation who's mission is to protect the world from the hazards due to asteroids. If you haven't checked out their project then you should get over there now

Arianespace Flight VA232 / Intelsat 33e and Intelsat 36

Two telecommunications relay satellites were orbited today for Intelsat on an Ariane 5, extending Arianespace’s 30-plus-year partnership with this U.S.operator while continuing the workhorse launcher’s track record of success and setting a new payload-lift record.
During a 41-minute mission from the Spaceport in French Guiana, Ariane 5 deployed Intelsat 33e and Intelsat 36 into geostationary transfer orbit, making them the 57th and 58th Intelsat payloads lofted by Arianespace for the satellite service provider since 1983.
With this evening’s launch – designated Flight VA232 – Intelsat retains its position as Arianespace’s no. 1 customer on missions to geostationary transfer orbit (GTO), with the launch services provider having lofted 50 percent of all Intelsat satellites in operation to...

NASA Social Focuses on Advanced Weather Satellite Mission

A NASA Social was one of several media events at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center focused on GOES-R -- the first spacecraft in a new series of NASA-built advanced geostationary weather satellites that will provide images of weather patterns and severe storms as regularly as every five minutes or as frequently as every 30 seconds. These images can be used to aid in weather forecasts, severe weather outlooks, watches and warnings, lightning conditions, maritime forecasts and aviation forecasts. GOES-R is targeted for launch Nov. 19, aboard a United Launch AllianceAtlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.

So today for the first episode we attempt to set up a Geo Sync satellite. Using a Prototype rocket that uses no liquid fuel. To improve the communications network which will allow me to do more unmanned missions. I will do manned missions eventually but hauling up Zoxy systems on a stable rocket is hard. I am not sure if you guys would prefer to see me build the rockets or just a quick tour of how I have set them up like I did in this video. Let me know!

Geostationary satellites, We have to setup communications array in Kerbal Space Program for future missions around the Kerbin system.
We use a space shuttle to setup the Kerbal communication array.
Next time we will build a space station around Kerbin and then to the Mun and then maybe Minmus.
I read comments and add your Kerbal if you ask me ;D

During a news briefing on Nov. 17, officials from NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), previewed the mission of GOES-R, the first spacecraft in a new series of NASA-built advanced geostationary weather satellites. GOES-R is set to launch into orbit aboard a United Launch AllianceAtlas V rocket on Nov. 19, from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
Once in geostationary orbit, GOES-R will be known as GOES-16 and will provide images of weather patterns and severe storms as regularly as every five minutes or as frequently as every 30 seconds. These images can be used to aid in weather forecasts, severe weather outlooks, watches and warnings, lightning conditions, maritime forecasts and aviation forecasts. It also will assist in longer term forecasting, such as in seasonal predictions and drought outlooks.

We estimate both mission concepts to cost less than 500M US$ each and we expect to perform at JPL a detailed selecting mission cost analysis. The resulting gravitational wave interferometers, whose arm-lengths are both equal to about 73,000 km, can probe a frequency region (~3e-2--10 Hz) complementary to those of longer baselines (such as LISA/eLISA/NGO) and of ground detectors (LIGO, VIRGO).

THE geoCARB MISSION
Berrien Moore IIIVice President, Weather & Climate Programs, Dean, College of Atmospheric & Geographic Sciences, Chesapeake Energy, CorporationChair in Climate Studies, Director, National Weather Center, University of Oklahoma
Friday, November 4, 2016
This talk will present a space mission (geoCARB) that would provide measurements of atmospheric carbon
dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and carbon monoxide (CO) from geostationary orbit. The geoCARB mission
would deliver multiple daily maps of column integrated mixing ratios of CO2, CH4, and CO over the observed
landmasses at a spatial resolution of roughly 5 x 8 km., which will establish the scientific basis for CO2 and CH4
flux determination at the unprecedented time and space scale. This determination would produce a
fundamental change in our scientific understanding of the terrestrial source/sink dynamics of carbon cycle as
well as produce the kind of flux information that would be needed to support international agreements on
greenhouse gas emission reductions.
The instrument exploits four spectral regions: The Oxygen A-band (0.76 microns) for pressure and aerosols, the
weak and strong bands of CO2 near 1.61 and 2.06 microns, and a region near 2.32 microns for CO and CH4. The
O2 and CO2 components are very similar to the instruments on board NASA’s Orbiting Carbon Observatory
(OCO-2). So geoCARB can be thought of as OCO-2 in geostationary orbit with the addition of a fourth channel to
measure CO and CH4, but without an oceanic capability. The longer wave band has been used for CO and CH4
retrievals by SCIMACHY. The O2 A-band also provides for retrieval of Solar Induced Fluoresce (SIF).
The geoCARB Mission persistent fine-scale mapping measurements, multiple times a day, under changing
conditions would enable significant advances on an important range of CO2 biotic issues, including: CO2
fertilization, change in primary production because of nitrogen deposition, and the influence of broad climatic
patterns on terrestrial sources and sinks. This probes the mechanisms of the observed inter-annual variability in
the atmospheric concentration of CO2. In sum, geoCARB attacks the primary question of the nature of the net
terrestrial sink of CO2.
Wetland ecosystems, rice paddies and livestock are major, and highly uncertain, sources of CH4. Several
approaches have been used to scale up from measurements at individual plots to estimations of CH4 emissions
at the landscape scale. However, there has been little large-scale top-down validation. Industrial sources are
also poorly quantified. The IPCC states that there are “large uncertainties in the current bottom-up estimates of
components of the global source [of methane], and the balance between sources and sinks is not yet well
known”.
The geoCARB Mission’s high space- and time-measurements of CH4 enable important analyses of human
impacts via agriculture and industry vs. natural phenomena on methane sources.
The geoCARB measurements of CO concentrations and SIF provide essential information for CO2 and CH4
source attribution. For example, CO helps distinguish between biotic fluxes of CO2 and CH4 from fluxes
associated with combustion. SIF measurements are directly related to gross primary production (GPP;
photosynthesis), and when coupled with inversions of concentrations, SIF can support partitioning of Net
Ecosystem Exchange (NEE)) into GPP and ecosystem respiration. Determination of GPP, NEE, and ecosystem
respiration will increase our capability to elucidate fundamentally key elements of the climate-carbon
connection.

This is my analysis and my rendition of the geostationary satellite launch from Bill Nye's blog: ThePlanetary Society. The original launch animation is at The Planetary Society by Jason Davis.
In this video I cover the fundamentals of a rotating earth and its rotating atmosphere all inside the vacuum of space. I make the case that all of the geostationary launch animations and geostationary launch data, seem to have the wrong idea of just what happens regarding a launch from a rotating earth and its rotating atmosphere.
I then draw the conclusion that because of the lack of scholarship in this area, or courses dedicated to this subject and an apparent lack of understanding by the folks creating and representing these animations and data out there, leads me to believe that maybe the rotation is fictitious. After all, why bother studying and applying the rotating earth sciences if it's not real. If our earth and its atmosphere are really rotating, this is no small thing and the fact that not much has been dedicated to this subject, other than Foucault's pendulum and the equatorial bulge, leads me to wonder whether or not we really are rotating. After all, maritime, aeronautics and astronautic calculations are done based on a fixed earth - as though the earth were at rest.

I am not sure if you guys would prefer to see me build the rockets or just a quick tour of how I have set them up like I did in this video. Let me know!

Soyuz blasts off on first Geostationary Delivery from French Guiana

VideoCredit: Arianespace
LaunchUpdates: http://spaceflight101.com/soyuz-vs16
A RussianSoyuz rocket lit up the night over the edge of the Amazon on Friday, embarking on its first-ever Geostationary Transfer Orbit mission out of French Guiana, requiring the maximum possible performance of the Soyuz ST-B rocket and Fregat-MT upper stage.
Carrying the European-built Hispasat 36W-1 communications satellite, Soyuz departed the Guiana Space Center at 01:03:34 UTC on Saturday – taking a path straight to the East usually flown by the heavy-lift Ariane 5 on its Geostationary mission assignments. Thundering away from the coast, Soyuz fired its lower stages over the course of nine and a half minutes before the Fregat upper stage took over and conducted an exceptionally long engine burn of almost 18 minutes for a direct injection into a highly elliptical orbit.

COP-22: The Weight of Water: NASA’s GRACE Satellite Mission

PrimarySponsor: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
Event Summary: Monitoring of the world’s water resources is challenging due to limited large scale observations, particularly a lack of observations of water beneath the land surface. NASA’s Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) mission provides an unprecedented view of the regional net terrestrial water balance, with global coverage, over a now ~10 year record. This event will highlight some relationships between terrestrial water storage and other water balance variables (precipitation and runoff), as well as applications of the GRACE observations in drought monitoring, flood identification and long-lead-time flood prediction. The use of satellite-based gravity to monitor the world’s water resources is a relevant application that will be featured in this event. Additionally, the event will showcase recent work on measuring the land contributions to sea level rise, and on the potential for GRACE to inform land surface model design and storage behavior. Finally, the event will conclude with some future directions including SMAP and GRACE, and regional hydrological model development at JPL.

Officials Brief Media on Mission of Next-Gen Weather Satellite

During a news briefing on Nov. 17, officials from NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), previewed the mission of GOES-R, the first spacecraft in a new series of NASA-built advanced geostationary weather satellites. GOES-R is set to launch into orbit aboard a United Launch AllianceAtlas V rocket on Nov. 19, from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
Once in geostationary orbit, GOES-R will be known as GOES-16 and will provide images of weather patterns and severe storms as regularly as every five minutes or as frequently as every 30 seconds. These images can be used to aid in weather forecasts, severe weather outlooks, watches and warnings, lightning conditions, maritime forecasts and aviation forecasts. It also will assist in longer term forecasting, such as in seasonal predictions and drought outlooks.

gLISA: geosynchronous Laser Interferometer Space Antenna
Two geosynchronous gravitational wave mission concepts, generically named gLISA, are discussed. One relies on the science instrument hosting program onboard geostationary commercial satellites, while the other takes advantage of recent developments in the aerospace industry that result in dramatic satellite and launching vehicle cost reductions for a dedicated geosynchronous mission. To achieve the required level of disturbance free-fall onboard these large and heavy platforms a “two-stage” drag-free system is proposed, which incorporates the Modular Gravitational ReferenceSensor (MGRS) (developed at Stanford University) and does not rely on the use of micro-Newton thrusters. Although both mission concepts are characterized by different technical and programmatic challenges, individually they could be flown and operated at a cost significantly lower than those of previously envisioned gravitational wave missions. We estimate both mission concepts to cost less than 500M US$ each and we expect to perform at JPL a detailed selecting mission cost analysis. The resulting gravitational wave interferometers, whose arm-lengths are both equal to about 73,000 km, can probe a frequency region (~3e-2--10 Hz) complementary to those of longer baselines (such as LISA/eLISA/NGO) and of ground detectors (LIGO, VIRGO).

I've finally upgraded to 0.23.5 which means asteroids will be added to the game, and while the base game will just let me see them, my sense of 'fair play' made be decide to fly a mission to launch the Sentinel asteroid survey spacecraft.
Obviously this is a thinly veiled reference to the real Sentinel spacecraft designed by the B612 Foundation who's mission is to protect the world from the hazards due to asteroids. If you haven't checked out their project then you should get over there now

THE geoCARB MISSION

THE geoCARB MISSION
Berrien Moore IIIVice President, Weather & Climate Programs, Dean, College of Atmospheric & Geographic Sciences, Chesapeake Energy, CorporationChair in Climate Studies, Director, National Weather Center, University of Oklahoma
Friday, November 4, 2016
This talk will present a space mission (geoCARB) that would provide measurements of atmospheric carbon
dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and carbon monoxide (CO) from geostationary orbit. The geoCARB mission
would deliver multiple daily maps of column integrated mixing ratios of CO2, CH4, and CO over the observed
landmasses at a spatial resolution of roughly 5 x 8 km., which will establish the scientific basis for CO2 and CH4
flux determination at the unprecedented time and space scale. This determination would produce a
fundamental change in our scientific understanding of the terrestrial source/sink dynamics of carbon cycle as
well as produce the kind of flux information that would be needed to support international agreements on
greenhouse gas emission reductions.
The instrument exploits four spectral regions: The Oxygen A-band (0.76 microns) for pressure and aerosols, the
weak and strong bands of CO2 near 1.61 and 2.06 microns, and a region near 2.32 microns for CO and CH4. The
O2 and CO2 components are very similar to the instruments on board NASA’s Orbiting Carbon Observatory
(OCO-2). So geoCARB can be thought of as OCO-2 in geostationary orbit with the addition of a fourth channel to
measure CO and CH4, but without an oceanic capability. The longer wave band has been used for CO and CH4
retrievals by SCIMACHY. The O2 A-band also provides for retrieval of Solar Induced Fluoresce (SIF).
The geoCARB Mission persistent fine-scale mapping measurements, multiple times a day, under changing
conditions would enable significant advances on an important range of CO2 biotic issues, including: CO2
fertilization, change in primary production because of nitrogen deposition, and the influence of broad climatic
patterns on terrestrial sources and sinks. This probes the mechanisms of the observed inter-annual variability in
the atmospheric concentration of CO2. In sum, geoCARB attacks the primary question of the nature of the net
terrestrial sink of CO2.
Wetland ecosystems, rice paddies and livestock are major, and highly uncertain, sources of CH4. Several
approaches have been used to scale up from measurements at individual plots to estimations of CH4 emissions
at the landscape scale. However, there has been little large-scale top-down validation. Industrial sources are
also poorly quantified. The IPCC states that there are “large uncertainties in the current bottom-up estimates of
components of the global source [of methane], and the balance between sources and sinks is not yet well
known”.
The geoCARB Mission’s high space- and time-measurements of CH4 enable important analyses of human
impacts via agriculture and industry vs. natural phenomena on methane sources.
The geoCARB measurements of CO concentrations and SIF provide essential information for CO2 and CH4
source attribution. For example, CO helps distinguish between biotic fluxes of CO2 and CH4 from fluxes
associated with combustion. SIF measurements are directly related to gross primary production (GPP;
photosynthesis), and when coupled with inversions of concentrations, SIF can support partitioning of Net
Ecosystem Exchange (NEE)) into GPP and ecosystem respiration. Determination of GPP, NEE, and ecosystem
respiration will increase our capability to elucidate fundamentally key elements of the climate-carbon
connection.

Arianespace Flight VA232 / Intelsat 33e and Intelsat 36

Two telecommunications relay satellites were orbited today for Intelsat on an Ariane 5, extending Arianespace’s 30-plus-year partnership with this U.S.operator while continuing the workhorse launcher’s track record of success and setting a new payload-lift record.
During a 41-minute mission from the Spaceport in French Guiana, Ariane 5 deployed Intelsat 33e and Intelsat 36 into geostationary transfer orbit, making them the 57th and 58th Intelsat payloads lofted by Arianespace for the satellite service provider since 1983.
With this evening’s launch – designated Flight VA232 – Intelsat retains its position as Arianespace’s no. 1 customer on missions to geostationary transfer orbit (GTO), with the launch services provider having lofted 50 percent of all Intelsat satellites in operation today.

KSP #1 - Geostationary Comms Network

In this episode we complete two mission programs, the LKORS program, a set of 3 low orbit communication satellites and then the GSRS program, 3 larger relay satellites to geosynchronous orbit. Both are successfully completed with only minor explosions.

This is my analysis and my rendition of the geostationary satellite launch from Bill Nye's blog: ThePlanetary Society. The original launch animation is at The Planetary Society by Jason Davis.
In this video I cover the fundamentals of a rotating earth and its rotating atmosphere all inside the vacuum of space. I make the case that all of the geostationary launch animations and geostationary launch data, seem to have the wrong idea of just what happens regarding a launch from a rotating earth and its rotating atmosphere.
I then draw the conclusion that because of the lack of scholarship in this area, or courses dedicated to this subject and an apparent lack of understanding by the folks creating and representing these animations and data out there, leads me to believe that maybe the rotation is fictitious. After all, why bother studying and applying the rotating earth sciences if it's not real. If our earth and its atmosphere are really rotating, this is no small thing and the fact that not much has been dedicated to this subject, other than Foucault's pendulum and the equatorial bulge, leads me to wonder whether or not we really are rotating. After all, maritime, aeronautics and astronautic calculations are done based on a fixed earth - as though the earth were at rest.
